Question from Dianne

Hi,

Little Tykes playhouses, slides, play structures are made out of polyethylene and polypropylene. You said that polyethylene was one of the safest plastics but I was wondering if you know about polypropylene.

Thank You Very Much!!!

Debra’s Answer

Polyethylene and polypropylene are two of the safer plastics. In this use, they would outgas very little, if at all.

I’m not concerned about toxic exposure from breathing these plastics.
